Definitions
- the invention relates to optical transmission systems and more particularly relates to dealing with so-called polarization mode dispersion in such systems.
- PMD Polarization Mode Dispersion
- Such apparatus employs a variable optical birefringence element which introduces a differential optical time delay between at least two selectable mutually orthogonal polarization states, i.e., the "Principal States of Polarization" (PSP) in the transmission fiber.
- PSP Principal Polarization
- An optical distortion analyzer coupled to the output of the variable birefringence element generates a control signal for that element.
- the compensation apparatus shown in FIG. 4 of the referenced '414 patent generates a continuously variable Differential Group Delay (DGD) between two principal states of polarization to compensate for first-order PMD in the transmission fiber.
- DDD Differential Group Delay
- One difference between this arrangement and the time-delay line shown in FIG. 1 of the referenced '414 patent is that the PSPs of the variable birefringence element in the apparatus of FIG. 4 of the '414 patent is frequency dependent. Such frequency dependence (which is an important aspect of a so-called second-order PMD effect) may lead to excessive distortion in the optical signal, since the first-order PMD in the fiber can only be compensated for over a certain optical bandwidth. Moreover, the PMD may even increase in certain parts of the optical spectrum.
- Signal distortion caused by the second-order PMD effect in conventional non-retum-to-zero (NRZ) and retum-to-zero (RZ) digital optical signals may be observed in the electrical spectrum of the received optical signal as a narrowband "tone" of spectral energy at the certain frequencies related to the signal bit rate, e.g., 10 GHz for NRZ and 20 GHz for RZ signals.
- control signal generated by the distortion analyzer of FIG. 2 or 8 of the above-referenced '414 patent is modified by subtracting from the control signal in a weighted fashion the output signal of a bandpass filter tuned to the narrowband tone outputted by the distortion analyzer.
- the resulting modified signal, V f is then supplied to the polarization controllers in the variable birefringence element to reduce the level of the distortion that occurs as result of the aforementioned second order effect.
- the modified V f causes the PMD compensator to operate at a point where the overall second-order distortions in both the transmission fiber and PMD compensator are minimal.
- the inventive feature particularly orients the PSPs of the compensator to offset any second-order PMD distortion that may be generated by the transmission fiber. That is, the second-order effect is subtracted from, rather than added to, the distortion produced by the transmission fiber.
- PMD Polarization Mode Dispersion
- a differential group delay, ⁇ f occurs between the two PSPs of the fiber.
- PMD in a fiber may change with time and/or with changes in optical frequency.
- a change in PMD may include changes in the corresponding PSPs as well as changes in DGD, ⁇ f , which may be compensated for by varying the amount and orientation of the birefringence in the compensator to adaptively compensate for the DGD in the fiber.
- An adaptive, variable-birefringence compensator may be readily realized by disposing a polarization transformer, for example, the polarization transformer described in U. S. Patent No. 5,212,743 issued May 18, 1993 to F. L. Heismann, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, in series with an element that generates variable linear birefringence.
- Such variable birefringence may be generated by splitting the signal at the output of the polarization transformer into two orthogonal linear polarization states corresponding to the two PSPs of the fiber, and delaying one of the two polarization states by a variable amount of time, ⁇ c , using a respective time delay line 50 (such as, for example, the polarization mode dispersion emulator, model PE3 available from JDS Fitel Inc.) as shown in Fig. 1 of the above referenced '414 patent.
- a respective time delay line 50 such as, for example, the polarization mode dispersion emulator, model PE3 available from JDS Fitel Inc.
- FIG. 1 Another way of generating such birefringence is illustrated in FIG. 1.
- This embodiment includes two nearly identical sections of high birefringence single-mode fibers 435 and 445 which generate fixed differential time delays, ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 , respectively between light signals polarized along the slow and fast optical axis of the two fibers.
- Fibers 435 and 445 may be, for example, the SM15-P-8/125 fiber available from Fujikura Co., having a time delay of about 1.4 ps/m.
- a second polarization transformer 440 inserted between fibers 435 and 445 effectively controls the angle, ⁇ c , between the fast axis of fiber 435 and fiber 445.
- ⁇ c ⁇ 2 1 + ⁇ 2 2 + 2 ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 cos(2 ⁇ 2 ) which is continuously variable between a minimum value of
- a feedback signal is used to control the polarization transformation in polarization transformer 430 (i.e., the orientation of the variable birefringence) as well as the variable differential time delay generated by the two high birefringence fibers 435 and 445 and polarization transformer 440.
- the desired feedback signal may be generated at the output of compensator 425 by monitoring the amount of pulse distortion that is due to the differential time delay present in an optical signal after it has traveled through compensator 425.
- a portion of the signal that compensator 425 outputs is supplied via optical tap 485 to path 487 extending to high-speed photodetector 455, which may be, for example the Hewlett Packard Co., model 11982 Wideband Lightwave Converter having an electrical bandwidth that is at least equal to the information bandwidth of the modulated optical signal transmitted by optical transmitter 410.
- the remainder of the signal is supplied to path 486 extending to receiver 490.
- Photodetector 455 converts the high-speed digital information signal that was modulated onto an optical carrier signal into an electrical signal.
- the electrical signal is then amplified by conventional amplifier 460 and coupled to electrical distortion analyzer 470, which measures the distortion in the amplified photocurrent and converts the amplified result into a voltage, V f supplied to path 471, that is proportional to the distortion.
- voltage V f reaches a maximum value when the optical signal is free of distortion due to first order PMD, i.e., when the combined differential time delay of optical fiber 420 and compensator 425 is substantially equal to zero.
- the distortion in the optical signal may be quantified by simply measuring the amplitude of the received electrical signal of a particular frequency f ⁇ 1/(2 ⁇ max ). The amplitude of this signal may then be used as a feedback signal to automatically adjust the orientation and level of DGD that is generated in PMD compensator 425, such that the feedback signal is maximized.
- ⁇ total ⁇ ⁇ max may limit the amount of DGD that may be compensated for in an optical transmission fiber, ⁇ f , as ⁇ total ⁇ 2 ⁇ f .
- ⁇ f should always be smaller that 50 ps.
- An "unambiguous" feedback signal (i.e., a signal that is a unique measure of ⁇ total ) may be generated , without limiting the level of compensation that may be applied to DGD, by measuring the amplitude of a plurality of frequency components contained in the optical information signal propagating through an optical fiber.
- An illustrative embodiment of a compensator which analyzes the amplitudes of substantially the entire received electrical frequency spectrum using a broadband electrical power detector, is shown in FIG. 1.
- the broadband electrical power detector 495 which may be, for example, model 8474 diode detector available from the Hewlett Packard Co., more particularly, converts such amplitudes into a single feedback voltage, V f , that is proportional to the integral of the amplitudes (power levels) of substantially the entire high-frequency electrical spectrum.
- the compensation arrangement illustrated in FIG. 1 generates a continuously variable Differential Group Delay (DGD) to compensate for first-order DGD.
- DGD Differential Group Delay
- one difference between this compensation arrangement and the differential time-delay line shown in FIG. 1 of the aforementioned U. S. Patent No. 5,930,414 is that the compensation section formed by high-birefringence fibers 435 and 445 and polarization transformer 440 of FIG. 1 herein exhibit Principal States of Polarization (PSPs) that vary strongly with optical frequency.
- PSPs Principal States of Polarization
- Such frequency dependence (which is one aspect of a so-called second-order PMD effect) may distort the optical signal in the compensator, since the DGD experienced in the fiber can only be removed over a certain optical frequency range.
- the DGD may even increase in certain parts of the spectrum.
- the second-order PMD effect may be observed in the electrical domain by the appearance of a narrowband "tone" of spectral energy at the corresponding frequency of the signal bit rate, i.e., around 10 GHz for non-retum-to-zero (NRZ) formatted digital signals at a bit rate 10 Gb/s and at 20 GHz for return-to-zero formatted signals at 10 Gb/s.
- NRZ non-retum-to-zero
- the distortion caused by this second-order PMD effect may be observed using a distortion analyzer with an electrical filter of the type shown in FIGs. 2 and 8 of the above referenced '414 patent modified to have a bandpass characteristic at the bit-rate frequency.
- the effects of distortion caused by second-order PMD may be dealt with by subtracting in a weighted fashion the output of a bandpass filter tuned to the narrowband tone from the signal outputted by the distortion analyzer of FIG. 2 (herein).
- the resulting modified signal, V f is then supplied to the compensator to reduce the level of the distortion that occurs as a result of the aforementioned second order PMD effect.
- the modified V f more particularly, causes the compensator to move to (dither) a point that centers the region of correct DGD and PSP alignment on the spectral region of maximal distortion in the optical signal, thereby reducing the effects of second-order PMD.
- the inventive enhancement also orients the PSPs of the compensator to offset any second-order PMD distortion that a signal may experience in the transmission fiber in such way that the second-order PMD generated in the compensator is subtracted from, rather than added to, the second-order PMD distortion experienced in the transmission fiber.
- FIG. 3 shows one illustrative embodiment of a modified distortion analyzer that generates the aforementioned modified control signal V f in which amplifier 460 supplies an amplified electrical signal to the distortion analyzer, as mentioned above.
- Conventional 3-way splitter 810 splits the amplified signal into three signals that are respectively supplied to broadband power detector 820, low-pass filter 825 and bandpass filter 840.
- Detector 820 in a conventional manner passes a signal (e.g., a voltage level proportional to the power in the entire frequency spectrum of the signal) to adder port 851 of conventional summing circuit 850.
- Low-pass filter 825 filters the electrical signal allowing only that portion of the frequency spectrum below, e.g., 2.5 GHz, to pass through to detector 830.
- the signal exiting detector 830 is then presented to adder port 852 of summing circuit 850.
- Bandpass filter 840 filters the signal that it receives from 3-way splitter 810 and passes only those signals within a predetermined spectrum of signals, e.g., a one GHz band centered about 10 GHz.
- the signal exiting filter 840 is then supplied via detector 845 to negative port 853 of summing circuit 850.
- Summing circuit 850 in a conventional manner, subtracts the signal that it receives via port 853 from the sum of the signals that it receives via ports 851 and 852.
- the distortion analyzer thus outputs a feedback signal, V f , which negatively emphasizes the spectrum around the predetermined spectrum of signals, e.g., around 10 GHz.
- Such emphasis causes the compensator, e.g. compensator 425 of FIG. 1, to adapt in the aforementioned dithered manner to substantially eliminate the frequency tones that occur as a result of the second-order PMD effect, all in accordance with an aspect of the invention.
- the feedback voltage, V F expressed by equation (9) shown in the aforementioned Patent No. 5,930,414 as well as the modified feedback voltage, V f , generated by the distortion analyzer of FIG. 3, may be reduced by the presence of polarization-dependent loss (PDL) that is generated in PMD compensator 425 (e.g., in the polarization transformers).
- the feedback voltage, V f is derived from two stages of square-law detection (i.e., optical-to-RF, and RF-to-low frequency), and, therefore, is proportional to the square of the total received optical power.
- dividing the feedback voltage by the square of the average optical power received by photodetector 455 decreases substantially the adverse effects of polarization-dependent loss in compensator 425 and, therefore, creates a higher level of PMD compensation.
- frequency splitter 1005 in a conventional manner separates the electrical signal outputted by high-speed photodetector 455 (also shown in FIG. 1) into high-frequency (AC) and low-frequency (DC) components.
- splitter 1005 may be formed from, for example, one or more conventional transimpedance LC circuits.
- the high frequency components, which contain information relating to the distortion in the high-speed digital signals are, after optional amplification, supplied to distortion analyzer 1010, which may be, for example, either the distortion analyzer of FIG. 2 or 3.
- the low frequency (DC) components having levels proportional to the average received optical power, are supplied to conventional analog squaring circuit 1020.
- squarer 1020 may be, for example, an analog multiplier having two inputs connected together.
- the signal at the output of squarer 1020 is then supplied to the denominator terminal, D, of conventional analog divider 1030.
- the feedback voltage, V fo from distortion analyzer 1010 is supplied to the numerator terminal (N) of divider circuit 1030.
- the resultant quotient is then supplied at the output of divider 1030 as the feedback signal, V f , which has been normalized by the received optical power to remove the effects of optical power fluctuations due to PDL.
